Review: "Kitchen Nightmares"
I have to admit, I enjoyed "Hell's Kitchen" this season. Up until this season, I hadn't seen the Gordon Ramsey show and I liked it! Ramsey is a bastard, but DAMN does he know what he's doing. He's a success for a reason! When I BRIEFLY had BBC America, I caught an episode of the British version of "Kitchen Nightmares" and I liked the concept. Gordon Ramsey goes into failing restaraunts and brings his attitude and talent into the place to turn things around for the better. Working on the menu, the wait staff, the management, the owners, everything...Ramsey changes things for the better and you better believe there's plenty of drama. Tears and yelling. Lots of it. He also generally buys the restaraunt something...either a new kitchen...new equipment, a new walk-in fridge.
The show is enjoyable and as long as nothing comes on that I want to watch more, I'll keep it on my DVR list.
